Take2minutes is free! I signed up and set reminders. I have been on default negative mode for over a year. I am going to make every effort to do this every day for 14 days for sure.
Thank you for your videos!
My 3 things:
1. Sent photos via text to my adult children of their dad
2. Listened to an audio book with my husband while in the car
3. Found a hotel with guest laundry, detergent and a helpful clerk who made change for me so I could get a few things washed.

FYI to non US depressed people -Take 2 Mins is only available in US.

This is the most click bait thing I have ever seen. 😝
Please

I hate my brain.

Very beautiful motivate👈👈

This is kind of battling depression in a meta way which works too , but I prefer to work on it in a body way , deep breathing ,cool showers , straightening the posture , smiling etc .

My three good things. Spent some wonderful time with a good friend. Went and met with a Nun who gave me some sound advice. My other good friend caught up wuth me and we enjoyed a wonderful meal

In 2 minutes. Ridiculous.

people think you could fight depression in 2 minutes but those people think that because they never had depression they always have fun no stress and nothing but the truth is you can never fight depression if you have hard core like me the only way to get rid of depression is just die get used to it.

sometimes it's not that easy..

Yes it's hard to struggle with mental health than the physical health sometimes I just don't want anything around me or when someone speaks to me I hate at that time how to even communication with someone help me I was completely disturbed inside and I didn't even know but but hold yourself at that time please time is not stable it varies and it'll be fine too just move with the time and take good care of yourself last is suiside is not an option ❤god bless everyone with good mental health 🥰🌷

What if there weren't three good things, or even one? If you're in your house/bed all day with crippling depression, nothing happens and you don't even perceive continuing breathing as a good thing, because living and feeling this way is actually the problem.
Didnt shower, didnt brush my teeth, so I can't even claim the basic stuff.
Maybe this works for milder depression, but not the falling into a black void type. But the idea is great, so I'm going to try.
Thank you for your content, Emma, i really do think you're one of the best therapists around :)

Can you please tell how your children defining your life should actually help other people I really needed more than this

What a fantastic message. If only people understood just how accurate everything you said was

Listen to any who trust in Christ and who is going through anything.
take aluminum foil.
index card
and a black pen


write on the index card inside
Jesus Christ
on it
and
healing and peace
at the bottom within the card.
fold the card in half.
wrap it in foil nice and neat
and put it on your chest for 2 to 10 minutes a day.

keep some in your car
keep some around the house hidden...thank God not me.

I love the Lord.
itll will be a blessing unto u.

im just tryna die

This reminds me of what a good mother I was when my kids were little. I am now 63 and I am trying to get through a divorce from my four grown children's abusive father.
These children that I took so much time and effort to take care of, and shield them the best I could from their fathers, alcoholic abuse and anger towards me, and narcissistic grooming has made them see me as a grouchy victim.
They view their father in a wonderful light, because he always gives them money. They don't care that he has cheated on me with men throughout our marriage. I found out because the men contacted me about five years ago, and I have been trying to figure out how to get away from this man who has trapped me in this marriage, with no income of my own.
It's nice to hear how playing with your kids makes you feel good. I remember those days hanging onto that feeling when I was so depressed because of the gaslighting future faking devaluing and abuse I used to take from their father.
My advice is if someone is in a relationship now and feeling depressed and anxious because of the same things occurring get out because it will not get better. Don't believe the promises that they tell you. They don't value you. These are just bread crumbs they tell you to keep you hanging on. They only want you there to take care of their children and their house. If they are abusing you, they are lying for sure .
I am in a very deep, dark place at this moment, because I am trapped and I will not be able to get out until the divorce is final, because I have no income. I have no way to get income because I am crippled from the demands of my narcissistic husband . My children have turned against me.

Im quite disappointed with this. Instrad of getting actual effective answers, i just get naive, optimistic bull****.

my contamination OCD is making my depression worse. I can't shower, I can't go outside, I can't get someone else to help me. It's like my depression is a flower and my anxiety waters it and provides sunlight for it to grow. But I feel like the petals are blooming out of control. It's so hard and I don't know what to do. I've been trying but I'm still so empty. I feel so self aware yet powerless. I don't know why this is happening to me. I was fine a couple years ago and now I barely function. I'm worried about what the future holds. I can't even picture a good life for me. I'll always have OCD and I'll always have depression and I hate it. I'm lonely as well. It feels like the only person that truly acknowledges that I'm there is my mom. But even she can't help me. I can't understand why this is happening to me. I don't know how I let this happen to me. I'm just afraid. Always afraid. I just want to feel safe and secure but I don't. Why am I like this? Why can't I just be normal? There are so many people in this world who would love to trade places with me and I'm here wasting it. I'm just wasting. I'm a waste of time, care, food, water, and just a waste of a life.

I am stuck how do I do this 😢

I cannot it's still here😞

I noticed i havent been doing this lately. No wonder why im getting more negative each day. Thanks for the tips. Blessings

I suddenly stopped feeling chest pain and breathing problems when I heard her say use 2 mins of ur life reminding ur self or what good things you've done. I'm confused how emotions got to a point where it drops me to emergency hospital

Depression is bad, you should change your mind

Reflect on the positive of the day by writing 3 things that went well or good each day.

You guys are bad at everything you do

cant get past the 1st step. maybe ill try again tomorrow.

Its been a week that i do not did enything biside sleep and eat i had lost my father 2 years ago almost and sometimes i have negative toughts... feel agitate stress during the day ... Even after i do some sport walking 10k 15 k steps at day making 100 push ups ... but i just feel overwelmd ...😢

I’m 5’8, and 110 pounds. Struggling to gain weight since February. It just keeps fluctuating up and down and is super frustrating.

Weird thing is: last year I only ate two meals a day, yet maintained weight so easily and gained so easily.

Yet then suddenly this year eating three meals and still since February it just seems I be struggling to put on anything and keep on losing weight.

I feel the health effects of it I think.
As I get hot flashes, easy bruising, pimple breakouts over and over, hair loss, out of breath sometimes, get joint aches/numb leg or arm feelings sometimes, drowsy, weird pressure squeezing in chest sensation since May(this feels constant), heart racing/elevated at random intervals, see pulsing in neck, sometimes get abdominal pains/discomfort with well gas sometimes.

On an echo heart ultrasound I found out I got: mitral trace, trivial tricuspid, and trace pulmonic regurgitations in valves.

My physical symptoms all feel daily without end for months. And it gets frustrating that I sometimes cry as I just want it all to end. And all I think about is worst case things like: “oh am I fading away? Do I got something dangerous that randomly developed this year? Am I dying and won’t live a long life?”
All I want is all said symptoms to go away for good, and get back to a normal weight again, and to live a long and happy life with out any of this.

I also now get self conscious and tend to be restrictive and nervous about said foods(which makes weight gain harder for me). I get scared of wether some foods will harm my health. I count calories, read labels. Am scared of Intaking too much sugar, sodium, fats, iron now too. Because I get scared if I go over some daily intake that I’ll so call get serious problems. And it would worsen something and cause irreversible damage for me. I cannot control my diet at my father’s place that I always get self conscious and upset about said foods I eat and start wondering things like: if what I eat will hurt me and harm me. And cause serious issues.

Because honestly mostly what I eat here is: carbs, sugary stuff, stuff with lots of sodium, and a protein. Not much veggies at all! And all I want is a balanced out meal with veggie and protein and carb and fat condiment all together with each meal. Yet my father throws a fuss when I say I want more veggies added in. All he says is: “oh I’m fine with what we got already. All food is fine! All food is good and safe! Want extras? Go get it yourself! Healthy food is expensive! I get cheap and easy to make stuff.”

Yet dude gets fruits, why not add veggie to the mix?
But also now cause of this all, I’m also scared to get refeeding syndrome if I go over daily caloric intake to try gaining weight.

Yea, it’s a struggle for me.

Yet one of my drs nurses prescribed Lexapro for me and I’m hesitant to take it. As I’m scared of it’s so call side effects and risks or potential complications. I just want it to help me! And not make anything I’m already feeling worse. Yet his nurse who prescribed it to me told me: “it will help increase my appetite and weight back to normal again, and so call remove all said symptoms.” But idk


Idk if any of this can be signs of burn out or what

this was so helpful, I'm subbing to you! :)

how can you be non depressed when us white people are targeted by the (((we arent allowed to name them))) to be extinct ..

Thanks, I'll try this technique

I'll try this, here's my three things for today:

1. I got to pet my rabbit for the first time in over a month, he seemed really happy to see me.
2. I managed to get something I'd been wanting in a game
3. I got to roleplay with one of my friends after not having been able to continue that story for almost two months.

1) yesterday I was I’ll but felt so grateful I didn’t have to work.
2) grateful for ibuprofen.
3) supported by my partner.

thank you so much this video saved me

I'm going to practice this tonight ..because I feel like I'm at my end... Signing up for take 2.... I need help and I've tried for so long on my own

💔❤️‍🩹

Shes so much better than my therapier

Three things that went well today
I played nascar racing 2003 season and shared my simulation with others. Mainly becauae I have pain in my right arm and can't do anything else I wanted to do.
I watched shows. I did it because I like seeking out new media.
And I am unable to think of a third thing that went well today. Probably because there wasn't one. Writing a comment is meaningless because I don't matter. But I do it anyways. Really I cannot think of anything. I almost thought I had a third thing but that was yesterday. Yeah... I really can't think of a third one. Well, I tried. Life sucks too much I guess.

I have faster way to fight depression - lose to it

Man it’s hard when ur so far down that u actually want to hold on to the hurt and hate inside. I don’t know what’s left of me if I left that go. I never thought id ever say I was scared to feel happy. It doesn’t make sense. None. Yet here I am.
I watched this over a year a ago. I think I might be ready to try this now cause I feel like my brain and reality are coming unraveled.

IT WOULDN'T LET ME SIGN UP ON THE NET
